Some Questions About Pokémon Café ReMix

1. Is Rerolling Necessary?

Absolutely not!

Sure, some Pokémon have better Café Skills and Special Gimmicks than others. But the beauty of it is that you can obtain most of these Pokémon just by playing the game normally.

I recommend maxing out all of the Pokémon you get eventually, since they’re all pretty much useful in their own way.

The only reason why you’d want to reroll is to get some Pokémon early on, or to get their Outfits.

It doesn’t really give you that much edge in the long run, but feel free to go for it if you want!

2. Which Pokémon Should You Reroll For?

Pokémon Café ReMix isn’t like most other gacha games because you don’t really need an overpowered unit to carry you through any stage of the game.

If you want to reroll, I recommend just rerolling for the Pokémon or Pokémon Outfits you personally like, as it really doesn’t matter which you pick in the long run.

This game prides itself on leaning toward the more “casual fun” side of things, which is honestly a breath of fresh air considering the other gacha games being released nowadays.

3. How To Unlock More Pokémon & Menu Items

The other reason why you shouldn’t worry about rerolling is that you get a ton of useful Pokémon just by playing through the game normally.

You can unlock more Menu Items in the early game just by clearing Orders – just as you’re instructed to in the tutorial.

Menu Items then allow you to attract customers/Pokémon.

By clearing Orders made by a specific customer and increasing their Friendship Level to the max, they’ll join you eventually as part of your staff.

4. How The Puzzle-style Cooking Works

There are only seven main gameplay mechanics that you must know about in Pokémon Café ReMix as a beginner:

Team Building Guide

Pokémon List

The only things you need to worry about when it comes to deciding which Pokémon to use to clear an Order are Specialties and Gimmicks.

All Specialties

Specialties dictate whether or not setting a specific Pokémon as the leader in a specific Order would be optimal.

There are five different specialties in the game:

    Drinks

    Sweets

    Entrées

    Small Plates

    No Specialty

To know whether or not the Pokémon you’ve set as the leader has the optimal Specialty, simply check the icons above the Menu Item and your Pokémon:

If it is red, then you’ve got yourself a match!

The icons would be grayed out.

To make selecting a Leader Pokémon easier and more beginner-friendly, simply choose from the Specialist Pokémon listed right beside your Leader Pokémon.

Tip: My advice is to invest in at least five Pokémon with different Specialties. This’ll allow you to cover most of the Orders in the early game with ease.

However as you go further into the game, you’ll need to invest in a wide array of Pokémon to get more stars in your Orders.

Once you’ve got enough Stamina and Tarts, do not be afraid to invest in more Pokémon. You’re gonna find a use for them one way or another in the late game!

All Specialty Gimmicks

Choosing which Pokémon has the best combination of Specialty Gimmicks is also very important before doing every Order.

To know if your Leader Pokémon has the necessary Specialty Gimmicks to clear an Order more efficiently, simply check the icons right beside the Menu Item:

Once again, you can just choose between the Specialists listed in each Order to auto-pick recommended Pokémon that can clear the Order much easier.

Tip: Another perk of investing in at least five different Pokémon early on is that you get to have several Specialty Gimmicks under your arsenal.

This will help you complete Orders at a rapid rate in the early game where Gimmicks are much easier to clear.

You’re going to have to train more and more Pokémon if you want to have an easier time in the late game though, since using specified Specialists will grant you the best performance in an Order.

Café Skills Guide

Each Pokémon has a unique Café Skill – just as they have different Specialties and Specialty Gimmicks.

I highly recommend that you check out a Pokémon’s Café Skill before using them to clear an Order. You can do this by going to their page and reading their Skill info:

All Pokémon have two types of Café Skills.

Blue Café Skills: They are weaker but easier to execute.

Green Café Skills: They are stronger but require combining two Blue Café Skills to execute.

Best Ways To Level Up Fast

The best way to level up your Pokémon fast in the early game is to use them in Special Visits, where you can farm the most amount of EXP as a beginner – all while farming extra items at the same time.

In the mid to late game once you’ve gathered enough stars from Orders, doing Daily Training will be more practical & will give you more EXP per Stamina spent.

Tip: Be mindful of how you spend your Stamina early on, as you can potentially level up multiple Pokémon at once if you use them in Special Visits/Events – regardless of their current level!

Primary Objectives for Beginners

Listed below are the most important tasks that you should accomplish once you get started in Pokémon Café ReMix.

Objective #1: Clear As Many Orders As You Can

You should clear as many orders as you can at the beginning of the game for seven main reasons:

    You can unlock more Menu Items.

    You can unlock more Pokémon.

    You can expand your Café.

    You can unlock more features.

    You can farm tons of Golden Acorns.

    You’ll learn more about the game via tutorials and demonstrations.

    You can complete missions and claim the rewards by clearing orders.

Clearing Orders should be your number one priority once you get into the game, as this is the only way you’ll unlock more game modes and learn more about the mechanics.

My advice is to get to at least Order #20 before exploring other game modes or features because by then, you’ve already unlocked most of them.

Objective #2: Unlock More Order Slots

Order Slots allow you to interact with different customers for their Orders. You can unlock them by either:

Unlocking facilities and buying slots with Golden Acorns

Buying paid packs from the Shop

The F2P way will always be the best, so I recommend you fork over some Golden Acorns to buy an Order Slot.

The first unlockable Order Slot costs 5,000 Golden Acorns. This is definitely worth it in the long run, since with more Slots, you’ll have more customers to choose from to spend your Stamina on!

Objective #3: Join or Create a Team ASAP

Joining or creating a Team is an absolute must for both beginner and veteran Pokémon Café ReMix players.

Pokémon Café ReMix General Tips

Here are some handy tips that should help most beginners that want to up their cooking quality in Pokémon Café ReMix.

Tip #1: Take Advantage of Infinite Stamina

You can get a lot of Infinite Stamina as a beginner by completing Café missions and claiming their rewards.

Infinite Stamina is an item that, once claimed, allows you to play any stage you want without consuming Stamina for 15 minutes.

This is HUGE for beginners, as you can basically spam-clear stages with it.

Clear Special Visits as many times as you can for maximum EXP and item gains whenever you obtain Infinite Stamina!

Tip #2: Mind Your Deliveries

Unlike in most gacha games, you don’t really need to pull all that much in Pokémon Café ReMix, as you can complete the game just fine with the Pokémon you get from clearing Orders.

With that said, you should still use your free daily deliveries and pull Express Deliveries whenever you can, as these may give you Outfits that improve your Pokémon’s performance in battle.

Tip #3: Clear Special Visits for EXP & Items

Special Visits are by far the best source of EXP and items in the game – especially for beginners.

They can otherwise be called Pokémon Café ReMix’s version of events, and they give players countless rewards just by clearing challenges or reaching certain milestones.

Instead of spending your Stamina in Training or Orders for EXP or items, I highly recommend focusing on Special Visits if you want to level up your Pokémon in the early game.

Tip #4: Use Your Heaping Helpings Wisely

A Heaping Helping gives you either +2 Friendship Level or +2 Cookies depending on whether you already have the Pokémon or not.

This is exactly why you should pick who to give your Heaping Helpings to wisely, as you can use this feature to obtain a Pokémon quicker or to increase their Staff Level limit faster.

Feel free to pick which Pokémon to use them on. My only advice is to avoid investing Cookies in Pokémon with the same Specialty – at least in the early game.

Tip #5: Train Your Pokémon Daily

While Special Visits give you more EXP early on, I still recommend you train your Pokémon at least once a day because of the Daily Bonus.

The Daily Bonus gives you more EXP, which makes the Stamina cost more or less worth it compared to if you just used the Stamina in a Special Visit.

With that said, I also recommend training your Pokémon regularly once you’ve already cleared a lot of Orders.

Since the more stars you get from Orders, the more EXP you can get from Training.

This means that once you leave the early game, the EXP you get from Training will eventually surpass the EXP you obtain from clearing Special Visits!

Tip #6: Pay Attention to the Demonstrations

Pokémon Café Remix shows players demonstrations of how to use specific mechanics and features in the game.

Watch them! They are pretty easy to follow, and you’ll grasp several of the puzzle mechanics like Special Gimmicks, Combos, or Café Skills in no time just by paying attention to them.

Tip #7: Always 3★ Orders (When Possible)

Clearing an Order or Training with 3★ gives you more EXP and Golden Acorns, which is why I highly recommend doing it consistently even as a beginner.

You’ll need every resource you can get early on, so even if you don’t get 3★ on your first try, just replay the Order again by visiting your Past Orders. You can unlock Past Orders by reaching Order #20.

Collecting stars from Orders also increases the amount of EXP you get from training Pokémon, so don’t forget to collect as many of them as you can!
